Great June budget savings! Enjoy your weekend with grandbaby 😊

Thanks @Skint_yet_Again 😊

Had a fabulous weekend but very expensive - not one ounce of regret though, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and got some things that have been on the list for a while so definitely worth it! 

Today is the money shuffle day where I round down my various savings pots and move the interest from them to the two funds I'm concentrating on. 

So, £35 to each fund from the money shuffle and an additional £2.44 for the DNF from rewards. 

DNF: £566.10

JSF: £283.65

Happy with that! 😁

£1.11 to the JSF today from rewards 😁 it's going to be a lean month this month I think - I'm doing my storecupboard challenge and I don't need anything for the house so shouldn't be spending much - it's a good thing but strangely disappointing too!! 🤔😂

Wow you've done an amazing job getting those pots up so quickly.

I was reading your post about all the bins for food and was envisioning your kitchen as absolutely huge to house them all 🤣 I have a metal bin for bird food but it has to live in the garage as I've no room in the house. We don't get deer here not quite rural enough but if we did I'd feed them too! 😊

Thanks @debtfreewannabe321 😊 they are increasing well - I did get a boost early on as I had my 'round-up' account pay out and I'd got a bit in a 'Tilly Tidy' pot too 😉 

The kitchen really isn't that big 😂 the creature food bins are all in the kitchen along a wall that is too small for any cupboards (it's a bit of a walkway from the utility room so quite narrow) The recycling bins are in the utility room - that room itself is quite narrow so they are on the wall opposite the dishwasher as I can't put any cupboards on it 😉 

36p to the JSF today from rewards - shopping from Sunday - still got a bit pending from yesterday's shopping but not much.  I've paid my car tax today but I'm not sure if that qualifies so I'll need to check that out 🤔
